Thermal
Fast Forward has raised the bar in Outage Mitigation. We perform autonomous, vehicle-based thermal inspections of assets near the road—capturing data on more than 30,000 poles per week per car.
Fast Forward’s patent-pending technology delivers high-quality thermal results that identify faults before they cause outages and wildfires.
Data is reviewed by Journeyman and Thermographers before delivery, substantially minimizing any additional work by the utility.
360 Groundline™
Imagine a 360° panoramic view of your entire service territory from the groundline, easily refreshed annually with unlimited user access. Fast Forward captures everything—highways, gravel roads, and alleys—giving you full visibility of your assets and ROW in a single, cloud-based platform.
Linemen mention ‘this really improves safety tailgates, maintenance and outage planning, and any disaster documentation needs as they arise.’
Fast Forward’s fleet can document most systems in less than a week!
Off-Road solution
Fast Forward’s turnkey UTV solution arrives fully equipped with a mounted camera system and all necessary tools for your crews to patrol and document lines inhouse. Use it as little, or as much as you want, Fast Forward takes care of the rest.
Switch™
We’ve built a 21st century inspection and one line tool all in one unified platform that lineman WANT to use. Unlike many other GIS and one line platforms, Switch™ is very interactive, something you’ve got to see to believe!
Extreme Weather & Disaster Support
Fire
Wildfires can be so widespread that documentation efforts become challenging with no ‘before’ imagery. The coverage rate of a car is hard to beat when trying to substantiate and quantify the extent of possible claims.
Wind
Isolated damage from tornados, or widespread from events like hurricanes…imagery can be extremely useful in trying to rebuild what was once standing.
Ice
Winter weather presents unique visibility and safety challenges. A car can still often drive when a drone is still grounded due to visibility or ice. Mutual aid crews mention our imagery substantially made their work safer by being able to see obstructions and ground conditions when obstructed by snow or at night, because they are not familiar with the area.
Our solution excels in documentation for all of these disaster scenarios, one method prepares you for all of them, while at a cost structure that is fair to the rate-payer.
High-Resolution
Designed to replace the traditional binocular method, Fast Forward’s Ultra-High-Resolution solution delivers the fastest ground-based visual inspection available. Captured in motion from the road, check out the quality of this image!
